BEAVER COUNTY (KDKA) – "At least two people have been killed after a shooting on the Penn State Beaver campus.

"The possession, carrying, or use of any weapon, ammunition, or explosive by any person is prohibited on all University property except by authorized law enforcement officers and other persons specifically authorized by the University." https://policy.psu.edu/policies/SY12

It looks like a murder-suicide, so whoever went through with that killing, probably didn't care about that law.

"A Florida man is facing negligence charges after his 5-year-old son fatally shot himself in the head with a gun he found in the glove box of the man’s car.

Jamal Daniel Todman was arrested Monday and charged with negligent storage of a firearm in connection with the Oct. 4 death of his son Judah.

The accidental shooting happened outside an Orlando day care center, while Todman, 34, was inside picking up his 3-year-old son, according to the Orlando Sentinel.

It’s unclear how long Judah was left in the car by himself. However, when his father and brother came back, the gun from the car’s glove box was on the floor, and Judah was slumped over with blood on his head, according to WESH.

The boy was rushed to a hospital across the street, but died from self-inflicted shooting wounds.

Gunshot wounds are now the third leading cause of childhood deaths in the U.S., according to a study published earlier this year in the journal Pediatrics."

Here's a clue: violence is violence, even if it's committed by someone who works for a government.

Not really. The community, once formed, takes on an overview of any violence within the community. Locke and Hobbes and Blackstone recognized that the state must handle a transparent monopoly on violence.

In Seattle, we had developed a problem of ethnically applied law and police violence. The feds faced off with the local police by sending in a federal monitor. The monitor soon threatened the Sheriff, then the Police Union, and thru them, the rank and file, with federal hijinks if they didn't meet specific benchmarks with in three years. After three years, the federal monitor declared the changes adequate. A female police chief from Boston, Katherine O'Toole, who had once cleaned up police forces in Ireland, was the hero of the chapter.

That's how it works in civilization. Violence lays out differently than the law of the jungle. And interpersonal personal violence gets reviewed in court, subject to civil and other laws.

Take it for what it is. On one hand, you have 565 people killed this year in mass shootings which is 565 more than you'd like to have.

On the other hand, given 325+ million people (and 300+ million guns), you have a 0.00017% chance of dying per year in a mass shooting. Which, ironically, is about the same chance you have of drowning in boating-related incidents per year.

Looks like a large proportion of them involve zero fatalities.

Look at the list yourself. It's easy to scan for zero fatalities. Though I wouldn't say that site really represents "my figures."

Of course, Tom. You're right dear. I clearly didn't say what I said. You never misrepresent a person's posts or views to score points. You most certainly don't have a reputation for doing that. My apologies.

Tom can't repeat another's position honestly. Therefore the discussion with Tom never really begins. After tens of thousands of posts, Tom gained a rep for twisting the dialogue. Tom is very impressed with Tom, who can't get beyond his own twisted POV.

That's not true. Admittedly, I was unaware that my dad's old .22 was an assault weapon until FL grabberz informed me, but I'm clear on that point now. I know I'm an assault weapon owner. What makes you say I have no conscience?

Those are the signs of a conscience? I didn't know.

Good to know I have one. You have to look in the thread about me for stuff like this about me.

On 9/1/2015 at 9:48 PM, Uncooperative Tom said:

I have mentioned that depriving those under a domestic violence restraining order of guns is one of very few gun control measures that has been shown to do any good, so your characterization of my views is completely wrong on that point.

You've never said that a gun control policy or group goes too far. And won't. That darn taboo!

So it looks like 7 of the last 10 cited in milliken/Mitch's source did not involve fatalities.

That's a large proportion, as I said.

AFTER THE CATO WHEATIES:You marginalized a whole bunch of Americans (thirty five) who just got shot several at a time, in a land of too many shootings. You are altruistically searching for a kinder and gentler term for "mass shooting," for the CATO Institute.

Assaut weapon, my ass. Welcome to the Twilight Zone. In this episode, inteligent anarchists become transfixed, brainwashed, as it were, by repeated nonsense...

This whole uproar is a half-truth: .22 caliber tube feeders are specifically exempted within Tom's law. The word "rimfire" needs to be stricken elsewhere in the law...which is far more likely than the pathetic conspiracy theory about confiscation of any .22's in FL and WA at the present time.

How was I supposed to know? People are always talking as if these "assault weapons" are guns you might find in the hands of a soldier.

The magazine article alerting me to the latest grabby proposal certainly gave that impression. But it also linked to the text of the law, so I decided to see what kinds of guns were covered.

I was pretty surprised that an old tube-fed .22 is considered a battlefield weapon. You were a soldier. Did you ever see one in a war? Do you find it surprising that an old .22 with a fixed magazine is an assault weapon or did you already know that?

The thing that surprises me is the English people aren't frightened of semi auto rimfire rifles they allow them even with their tough gun laws. They don't have magazine restrictions for semi auto rimfire rifles and no mass shootings done with these type of scary semi auto rifles.

This statement makes it obvious you never read the bill in question, Joe.

And just for you, Joe, the pistol I mentioned before is also banned in the FL bill.

I'll help by quoting the whole section.

182 (d) “Large capacity magazine” means any ammunition feeding

183 device with the capacity to accept more than 7 rounds, or any

184 conversion kit, part, or combination of parts from which such a

185 device can be assembled if those parts are in the possession or

186 under the control of the same person, but does not include any

187 of the following:

188 1. A feeding device that has been permanently altered so

189 that it cannot accommodate more than 7 rounds;

190 2. A .22 caliber tube ammunition feeding device; or

191 3. A tubular magazine that is contained in a lever-action

192 firearm.

Read that whole section, then read what I quoted before.

Note that what I quoted before does not mention "large capacity magazine". It says " capacity to accept more than 10 rounds of ammunition"

A lever gun can hold whatever amount. A tube mag semi .22 is not a "large capacity magazine" if it holds more then 7 - but if it holds over 10 it is illegal per 5:d

Joe, you have repeatedly said that assault rifles are weapons of war and only for use on the battlefield. Badlat has one of those weapons of war. Is his future house in OR an acceptable battlefield? Why won't you admonish BL for keeping a battle rifle that you want to take from the rest of us?? It is this hypocrisy (along with several other things) that keeps you from ever having any credibility around here.

Doesn't really address the question. Are you trying to say that rimfire is less deadly than center fire?

The answer is in the thread about that proposed law.

One of the few things on which Joe and I agree is that the word "rimfire" could be stricken from the definition of assault weapon and then my dad's old .22 wouldn't be an assault weapon.

There are other ways to make the law more sensible, none of which seem to appeal to the grabberz who reintroduce it every legislative session.

That one came up because the law named both rimfire and centerfire in the definition. Since it was a proposal by elected legislators in my state to ban and confiscate a gun that I own, it was a political issue of interest to me and I started a thread.

And just for you, Joe, the pistol I mentioned before is also banned in the FL bill.

I commented on those details in the topic post of the thread about the FL proposal to ban and confiscate my gun.

Yes, the law specifically says that the magazine attached to my gun is not "large capacity" because it's exempt from that definition.

It also specifically says that my gun is an assault weapon and there is no exemption to that definition.

So my gun is NOT to be banned and confiscated because of the large magazine. It's to be banned and confiscated because it's an assault weapon.

Sorry, I don't like either reason and I think we should continue to be like Canada, where owning a gun like mine is OK.

Why are you guys making a distinction between rimfire and center-fire?

The English have very tough gun laws yet they allow semi auto rimfire rifles with no magazine limits, if the English don't have any problems with semi auto rimfire rifles despite their gun laws why are hoplophobes afraid of semi auto rimfire rifles?

Some states in the USA have tougher gun laws with rimfire semi auto rilfes compared to the UK, do you think the US should have tougher gun laws compared to the UK?

We are each compromised over guns. Every gunowner. I pointed that out to you in 2013. Badlat is included.

On Christmas day, we find un-cited hyperbole coming from the deep South ^^^, based on loud, unresigned, pernicious fear of gun confiscation.. (Bpm57 will be along soon to scarf it up.) Tom is squirming about, over his moar gunz program. His FL bill, so very scary, went out like a lamb in May, but Tom plagued us with hundreds of posts (about .22's) after it was a non-issue. Tom is going to annoy us into submission to Libertarian views.

With the FL law off the table in May of 2017, Tom polluted our forums with childish content for seven more months in 2017?

O Canada again, ruh oh, from Pooplius. Run what you brung, baby.

So now you are now flying the Canadian flag (hint: still not the CATO flag)? The Canadians will not have your elk, Tom. Neither will the ACLU, neither will MLK. Are you suffering identity confusion? You are a devout peddler of individual freedom...so what's up with all the leverage for the consensus of others, using your nemeses?

Well, you have polluted the forums with plenty of messages about how there is no individual right to own, yet you own firearms yourself. When asked about this, your views were suddenly flexible - as if your opinion on ownership applied to everyone else, but not you. I'll just settle for calling you a hypocrite on the topic.

Although I realize that you already know that the FL bill was reintroduced, I'll help you anyway.

Joe, you have repeatedly said that assault rifles are weapons of war and only for use on the battlefield. Badlat has one of those weapons of war. Is his future house in OR an acceptable battlefield?

WTF kind of mealy-mouthed tap dance is this shit??? Just please make sure to include bad latte in your diatribes when you rant about battlefield weapons of war and that they should be confined to only those battlefields. Unless you consider Oregon a battlefield.

BTW - how does it make you feel knowing that one more battlefield war gun is moving closer to you? Do you feel nervous having this weapon of war right next to your peaceful douchetopia state of WA?

Joe, you have repeatedly said that assault rifles are weapons of war and only for use on the battlefield. Badlat has one of those weapons of war. Is his future house in OR an acceptable battlefield?

FACT 1: Jocal has repeatedly said that assault weapons are battle guns and weapons of war and have ZERO place in citizen's possession and he wants them removed.

FACT 2: Bad Latte owns a quintessential assault rifle. In fact his SCAR-17 really is the first major upgrade over the AR-15 platform representing a pretty large leap in technical improvements from that Vietnam era weapon. And on top of that, it is chambered for the 7.62mm NATO cartridge (.30 cal) - making it exceptionally MORE lethal than the dinky .223 found in AR-15s. In fact the weapon is so good, the US Special Forces has embraced this exact rifle (well with the exception of the fun switch) and ditched their previous M-4s (the mil version of the AR-15). So not only does BL own an "assault rifle", but he owns a particularly deadly and effective assault rifle well more lethal than the run of the mill AR-15 that joe hates so much.

FACT 3: Joe has given BL a pass on owning this lethal and deadly battle rifle because presumably BL exhibits qualities of character and behavior that supposedly makes him less likely to commit heinous mass shootings with it. He also presumably has given BL a pass because BL is Joe's "comrade in arms" (so to speak). Joe thinks BL is "his nigger" in the fight against gun crime. So joe doesn't want to lose a sycophant Kindred spirit by alienating him. But I digress...... The good character and behavior is what I want to discuss.

FACT 4: None of the rest of the PA Gun Club such as LenP, AGITC, Tom, myself, etc has shown any character or behavior traits that would make us less desirable to get joe's prized pass on assault weapon ownership.

Discussion points:

BL is no more or less likely to commit heinous mass murder crimes with his assault rifle than any of us here on this board. Besides, presumably BL has come to the "assault weapon" ownership game pretty late in life making him FAR more likely to snap one day and shoot up an elementary school. How do we know he didn't buy it and move it to OR just for that reason? The reality is he is VERY unlikely to do so, given his tone here - therefore both I and don't consider BL a threat. But the likelihood of that happening actually is statistically something >0%. So I don't understand why joe is willing to take that risk on BL.

What joe hates to admit is that he is actually JUST LIKE THE REST OF US when it comes to how to deal with violence and crime. As AGITC and I have said numerous times here - it is the BEHAVIOR of the person that needs to be looked at as the root cause of these violence issues. By giving BL a pass on his SCAR battle rifle - joe has done exactly that. Yet he can't fathom that the other several million people who might not agree with his politics or proposed COAs also are not dangerous and have no propensity for gun mayhem. But because we are on the "other side" - we are labeled as unstable and not worthy and must immediately turn in our gunz.

Back to the battlefield weapon meme of Joe's for a moment.... joe by labeling these guns as only fit for battlefields - Joe, you actually make our point FOR us. We have long maintained that one of the two core reasons for the 2A is to use them to fight on a battlefield by the militia using guns supplied by themselves and fit for the purpose. So thank you, I will keep my AR-15s and my SCAR and my other toys and when/if the "battle" comes to my neighborhood - I will thank you for fighting for my right to protect my community, my state and my nation should the need arise to protect the constitution from ALL enemies, foreign AND domestic.

Joe, I'll betcha can't reply to this without one of your cunt-n-pastes.

I think most people who read your screed will come to the same conclusion.

I’m not asking most people. I’m asking you. What is factually incorrect and/or nuts about what I wrote? My impression of you is that you’re not stupid, so that can’t be the reason why you can’t or won’t answer.

And by the way this is about jocals hypocrisy and inconsistency. It’s not always about you.

No one seems to be able to explain why there is a differentiation being made between rimfire and centerfire. Is the argument that rimfire is more lethal than centerfire? Less lethal? It's not making any sense.

That's generally true, though there are some big rimfire calibers. I have never seen one.

Mostly, banning rimfires means banning .22's, .17 HMR's, .22 Magnums.

The FL bill makes no differentiation. With the possible exception of the rare, large rimfire calibers that I only know about from reading, the answer to your question is yes, a .22 is generally less lethal than a gun like your AR. Next time you're buying ammo, ask the clerk to hand you a .22 long rifle round and compare it to the ones you are buying. Or just go look up ballisitics info on both kinds. Your gun will fling lead further and faster than mine. Meaning, it can do more damage from further away. The ability to do more damage from a greater distance is one measure of lethality. Is there another that makes more sense to you?

Just please make sure to include bad latte in your diatribes when you rant about battlefield weapons of war and that they should be confined to only those battlefields.

Why would you go there? Why would you choose to focus on the nuances among gunowners? By doing so, you display my objections to your elk.

We have three different guys here, Joe, Jeff, and BL. How do they rate?

My mind goes to attitudes towards interpersonal violence, and attitudes of sympatico (or lack of it). I reflect a bit on the global understanding of each, and on any "tricky dick" factor of their posting, their honesty factor, in other words.

Some anarchists seem more trustworthy than others. Some spout more unfounded rhetoric than others. Some engage in SAF talking points, some don't. Some plan to follow gun laws as they evolve, some don't. Some know better than to shoot shirtless tirechuckers, even on their bad hair days.

Guns as a political force? That's bullshit. Does Badlat do insurrection theory?

Some individuals I trust with guns, more than others. Who is who, under our laws, will be more and more apparent as time passes, IMO.

Civilization and society could proceed, and could evolve constructively, under the badlat model, as he calls a spade a spade and enjoys some shooting.

(a Jeffie snippet here:) What joe hates to admit is that he is actually JUST LIKE THE REST OF US when it comes to how to deal with violence and crime.

Dude. What part of "spawned by Gandhi" do you not understand? My basic objection is to the chain of violence itself. Your means, meaning lethal weapons, is ultra-violent, as featured on the lower road, and as cheered by the cheapest seats. You are low hanging fruit on the steady march to equality and dispassionate justice. Thanks for playing, Simple Jeff.

Well, you have polluted the forums with plenty of messages about how there is no individual right to own, yet you own firearms yourself.

The "pollution" I have presented has footnotes accepted by 21 agreed scholars. The work was presented to the SC in MacDonald, and I can defend every line of it on SAILING ANARCHY. Not one opposing scholar has been presented, mates.

You are correct that after 1000 pages of reading from four authors, I find no historical basis for individual gun rights, whatsoever. I see my gun possession as a privilege within society, subject to appropriate review.

Yes, having studied the progression of militia acts from the British 1660's to the US Militia Act of 1792, I see massive restrictions on militia members' shooting, inside of muster and outside as well. It wasn't about personal guns (or where the guns and powder were kept) for them--it was about militia service. They were not ga ga about their weapons.

On neither continent was armed confrontation adopted or even discussed in Parliamentary or State discussion. The historical examples cited in Heller each have a context which lack a consistent platform with one another--they are simply random mentions of individual rights, and one was rejected at the State level.

Scalia thought Joyce Lee Malcolm was an Oxford scholar. His study habits were poor: she was a Texan teaching at George Mason U, which is effectively a Koch Bros. institution.

As is usual with you Joe, you miss the point.

You are a hypocrite. You claim to believe that a group of college professors are the be-all-end-all of firearm scholarship, yet you do not follow their conclusion.
